Red Rose Orange Pekoe Black Tea ships in cases of 864 bags (4 boxes of 216), is blended in Canada, and carries the Rainforest Alliance Certified mark.

Busy breakfast service is where a weak cup gets noticed fast. A 864-bag case of Red Rose Orange Pekoe keeps your line moving with the same flavour every time, which is what most guests already expect when they see the red box on the cart.
RED ROSE Orange Pekoe Black Tea | 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified | 216 Tea Bags (4/CASE)-TOTAL 864 BAGS: bulk format for Canadian food service
Red Rose Orange Pekoe is the black tea most Canadians grew up drinking, and that's exactly why it works in a busy line. Each case holds 864 individually wrapped bags, so your team pulls the same cup every time without weighing leaves or guessing at portions. The whole lot is 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified, which checks the sustainability box most procurement forms now ask for.
We stock it at our Calgary hub and ship to all 10 provinces and 3 territories, usually in 2-5 business days. Order through ChickenPieces.com.
"Hotels in Alberta pull this in 10-case lots when they're gearing up for ski season or a convention week. The reason is simple: Red Rose is the brand most guests already trust with their morning cup, so your front-of-house team skips the conversation every shift. That familiarity matters more than a fancy single-origin ever will at a buffet line."
Baristas use Red Rose as a workhorse base. The flavour holds up served hot, poured over ice, or pushed through steamed milk for a London Fog. Most independent shops around here run it because it's the brand customers already reach for. The rest of our café range lives at our barista supplies page.
Quality & specifications
Orange Pekoe is a leaf grade, not a flavour note. Red Rose's blend sits on the bolder side of standard black tea, which is what most breakfast guests actually want. Each bag is a measured portion, so you avoid the weak-cup problem that comes with loose-leaf guesswork when the line is stacked.
Café menu applications
Run it as a plain hot brew, push it cold for iced tea, or steep it double-strength as the base for a London Fog or chai latte. It covers the breakfast buffet, the office kitchenette, and the catering urn without needing a second SKU. One case, three formats, no menu changes.
Storage & handling
Tea picks up odours fast, so keep the boxes off the shelf next to your spice rack or coffee bins. Cool, dry, sealed is the rule. The best-before date on the box is real - don't push past it or you'll taste the difference in the cup by week three.
Canadian sourcing
Red Rose has been blended in Canada for over a century. We move it out of our Calgary warehouse to all 10 provinces and 3 territories, so the lead time is the same whether you're ordering into St. John's or Vancouver.
